Ingredients
1.5 lbs beef steak (sirloin or chuck), cut into bite-sized pieces
4 cups potatoes, peeled and diced
1 medium onion, chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup sour cream
1/2 cup beef broth
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the steak pieces for 2–3 minutes until browned.
Transfer the seared steak to the crockpot.
Add diced potatoes, chopped onion, and minced garlic to the crockpot.
Season with paprika, thyme, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
Pour in beef broth and gently stir to combine.
Cover and cook on low for 6–7 hours or on high for 3–4 hours until potatoes are tender and steak is cooked through.
Stir in sour cream and half of the shredded cheese.
Sprinkle remaining cheese on top, cover, and let melt for 5–10 minutes.
Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
Notes
Chuck roast works well for extra tenderness.
Add vegetables like carrots, mushrooms, or bell peppers for variety.
For spice, include chili flakes or jalapeños.
Swap cheddar with mozzarella or a cheese blend if desired.
Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
Reheat gently with a splash of broth to maintain moisture.
